These are the thoughts of all men in all ages and lands—they are not original with me;
If they are not yours as much as mine, they are nothing, or next to nothing;
If they are not the riddle, and the untying of the riddle, they are nothing;
If they are not just as close as they are distant, they are nothing. 350
[17.1]
This is the grass that grows wherever the land is, and the water is;
This is the common air that bathes the globe.
